ohhh Callie I very much miss you!!!! I am happy we can still link up even if we are far apart (we should be letter friends too btw). I hope you are very very lovely dear friend.

on this rainy rainy rainy rainy morning, I am immensely inspired by Hermine Van Dijck's 2012 textile letter project…
(captions on photos for credits)
homestretch, finally.
hand embroidery, micron ink, indigo, sumi ink, and handmade paper.
My Have Company guest blog post is now up!
It’s really emotional and truthful of how I have been feeling lately as an artist and human being (I did edit out a lot of my anxiety though hah)… take a gander and I hope you enjoy! I severely recommend Have Company's residency to everyone…I learned so much about myself and have made some new forever friends. check out their site and apply for the next round of residencies DEFINITELY.

I woke up this morning at 4am, went to the gym, deep moisturized my hair for an hour, and ate a lovely quaint breakfast.
It’s only 11:06am and I am having a fresh cup of coffee while working diligently on a few things for a deadline tomorrow (pushing myself to apply for more residencies). It is insanely beautiful outside, so really, I am just a bundle of happy and positive life-force.
ps. thank you so much for all the messages + emails pertaining to a post from yesterday. I am working on hearty emails and will begin writing some letters this week!
xoxo
(also thank you for all the wonderful and kind energy lately. I am feeling so good about things, even if the near/far future is unknown. smiles all around today!)
m and I stopped by @purlsoho for a few spools of thread, but guess what he surprised me with! :) now I can cease snippin threads with my seam ripper haha…
email buddies?
I have quite a few plans in the works, so as I gear up for my social media hiatus (December/January something something), I wanted to put out that I need more one-on-one interactions with folks.
so, please consider this carefully and kindly, but if you’d perhaps like to be a snail mail buddy, let’s email!
crane.anny@gmail.com
we can talk about art, homesickness, nostalgia, movies, books…anything!

ps. if you’d like to be real mail pen pals, I am up for that too! just let me know in an email so we don’t go sharing personal home addresses to the whole internet. ;)
research for an upcoming project.
from last Friday: m and I had an impromptu mimosa brunch at our favorite place in the neighborhood.
I’m convinced my hands are shaking constantly and I will never take a steady photo again.
(perhaps this is a moment to reflect on my insufficient use of that dslr)
morning coffee and a current piece in progress:
indigo dyed handmade paper, illustration with micron + sumi ink, and the beginning of embroidery.
